share your pictures of leaf with tinted windows?

[kieranmullen]

I would like to see how red looks with tint. Just thought that other people might benefit from seeing their particular color with tint

Here you go. How's this for a before and after:

 

[kieranmullen]

Well...I guess I live in the wrong neighborhood...

I've never had car windows tinted before. How much are you generally paying, and is this OK to do on a leased vehicle?

 

[eHelmholtz]

I had tinting done when I added leather to my car in 2011.

I'm sure it's whatever the local market will bear, but I think I paid $165 to have mine done.

Keep in mind that with turning in a leased car, you might be
required to pay the cost of removing any illegally (too tinted)
applied tinting materials, since it is not clear that a dealer
could legally sell the vehicle that way.

Or, maybe they just ignore it as long as it is in good shape
(not blistered, torn, scratched, etc.)?

I am getting prices around $200 here in Portland using suntek lifetime warranty tints.

Perhaps too much?

That is less than what I am getting here for the same tint. Is that for all windows or just the rear ones?

 

[kieranmullen]

All windows...

I should also ask what percentage of tint do you guys like?

 

[pyrotech]

I think that OR allows a maximum tint of 35%. Your installer should provide you with a certificate of compliance that you can show to a Public Safety Officer, if he questions your tint. I paid $325 for mine, and they did a great job.

 

[kieranmullen]

Have you ever had to show it really? I know we at 35% but I was just checking to see what other people do. My title is from California

 

[mwalsh]

Limo on the hatch and rear doors. 35% on the front doors. Don't know where my attached pics went, but I can't reload them from where I'm at right now.

 

[TomT]

20% on the rear hatch and rear windows. 50% on the front windows and down to the bottom of the center hatched line (AS1) on the windshield. On a high quality tint, the amount of UV and heat rejection is actually not that much better from 50% on down...
